A noticeable shake-up is happening in the graphics card market, and fresh retailer numbers from Germany help show why certain models are suddenly climbing the rankings. New GPU sales and supply strategies from both AMD and NVIDIA appear to be reshaping what’s readily available to shoppers, and that shift is showing up clearly in recent Mindfactory sales data.
It’s important to note that these figures reflect one retailer in Germany, not worldwide demand. Still, Mindfactory’s weekly sales snapshots are often a useful way to spot real-time buying trends—especially when supply priorities change and customers start choosing what they can actually find at reasonable prices.
One of the biggest movers is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080. Earlier on, it wasn’t the standout choice it is now, but its position has improved as NVIDIA appears to be pushing more supply toward it. The RTX 5080 is also attracting attention because it offers stronger performance than other RTX 50-series models with similar memory capacity, and it’s currently the most visible 16GB option in NVIDIA’s lineup compared with other 16GB cards that seem less consistently stocked.
That change is reflected in the latest weekly tally: the RTX 5080 leads NVIDIA’s sales at Mindfactory with 95 units shipped over the week. Meanwhile, the RTX 5070 Ti sits behind it at 55 units, showing how quickly momentum can shift when one model is easier to buy than another.
Even with NVIDIA’s reshuffling, AMD continues to dominate overall sales at this retailer. The Radeon RX 9070 XT remains the top-selling GPU and has held that position for months, signaling sustained demand for AMD’s RDNA 4 series in this market. Not far behind, the Radeon RX 9060 XT continues to perform strongly, and shoppers appear to prefer the 16GB version over the 8GB model—another sign that many buyers are paying close attention to VRAM as modern games and workloads become more demanding.
NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5070 is also holding onto strong interest. It sits in a “middle ground” that many buyers find appealing, balancing performance and memory capacity without landing at the extremes of very low VRAM or the highest-tier pricing. It’s also among a small group of models that reportedly make up a large share of overall shipments this quarter, reinforcing the idea that a handful of cards are capturing most of the real demand.
On the other hand, the RTX 5060 8GB isn’t posting the same kind of momentum despite supply focus, with 50 units shipped in the most recent week. That may point to cautious buyer behavior around 8GB cards, especially as more players prioritize 12GB or 16GB options for better longevity at higher settings.
Another interesting detail from the numbers: Intel’s Arc B580 is still finding an audience. It shipped nearly 40 units in a week, putting it ahead of some higher-profile GPUs in the same report. That suggests Intel’s Arc lineup continues to appeal to value-focused shoppers looking for alternatives amid price swings and uneven availability from the bigger brands.
There’s also a notable gap in the discussion around the RTX 5060 Ti, since the 8GB and 16GB variants weren’t included in the cited list even though they are available for purchase at Mindfactory. Exact sales for those models at this retailer aren’t clear from the data presented, but the RTX 5060 Ti series appears to be moving at a decent pace overall, helped by recent price drops in multiple regions. Pricing has also become more attention-grabbing lately, with the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB showing signs of settling down after previously spiking much higher, and now commonly sitting in a more competitive range depending on the store and region.
Taken together, the latest Mindfactory snapshot shows a market being driven as much by supply decisions and price corrections as by pure performance. AMD’s RX 9000 series continues to lead, NVIDIA’s RTX 5080 is emerging as the top seller within the RTX 50 family at this retailer, and buyers are sending a clear message that VRAM capacity and real-world availability are playing a bigger role than ever in GPU purchasing decisions.
